Falcons make changes to depth chart ahead of Week 15 game vs. Bucs

The Atlanta Falcons have released a new depth chart ahead of their Week 15 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wide receiver Malik Heath, who was claimed off of waivers on Monday, was added to this week's chart while safety Jordan Fuller has been removed.

Other changes include the addition of wide receiver Deven Thompkins and the removal of safety DeMarcco Hellams. Dylan Drummond also leapfrogged wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge as Drake London's backup. As you will see below, the Falcons have nine wide receivers and just two active safeties on the roster entering Week 15.

Don't be surprised if the team makes another move to even these numbers out before Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. Check out the Falcons' updated Week 15 depth chart below.

Tampa Bay looks vulnerable, but Atlanta is essentially playing for pride at this point after being eliminated from playoff contention in Week 14.
